I ditto Firefly Flanatic. Those dang lips were the first thing I noticed! Yikes. It totally looks like lipstick. Ugh. I'm happier with my "Angel Season 5" Spike figure. At least it has the eyebrow scar and normal-colored lips.

Great sculpt, bad paint job. Just like the author said.

One eensie weensie nitpick on the article: Spike pained his nails black as a punk, not a goth.
